Explore the Benefits of Laser Technology

Laser dentistry gives Dr. Paul Lee a precise way to treat two common concerns: gum disease and uneven or overly prominent gumlines. If you have gum disease, the laser targets and removes infected tissue with pinpoint accuracy. If you're bothered by a gummy smile or uneven gum tissue, the same technology reshapes your gumline for a more balanced look.

Laser dentistry in Houston is part of our minimally invasive treatment approach. Your dentist can make changes in small, precise increments, addressing only what needs adjusting.

More Comfortable Treatment

Lasers reduce the need for cutting and stitching that often comes with traditional gum treatment. You'll feel less discomfort during your procedure.

Faster Healing Time

Because lasers are so precise, they disturb less of the surrounding healthy tissue. Your gums recover more quickly, so you're back to eating and talking normally sooner. 

Reduced Bleeding

Lasers seal blood vessels as they work, which means less bleeding during your procedure. You'll notice a cleaner, more controlled treatment area throughout. 

Lower Infection Risk

The heat from the laser sterilizes the treatment area as your dentist treats your gumline. This lowers your risk of infection compared to traditional surgical methods. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Dentistry

Is laser dentistry painful? 
Laser dentistry isn't as uncomfortable as traditional methods for gum care. Most patients need little to no anesthesia. The laser causes less trauma to your tissue. You might feel a mild sensation during treatment, but sharp pain is very uncommon. This makes it a much easier option if you've been avoiding gum care.
How long does it take to recover from laser gum treatment? 
Recovery from laser gum treatment is quick. Most patients feel back to normal within a day or two, since the laser disturbs less healthy tissue around the treatment area. You'll likely notice less swelling and soreness compared to surgical approaches. Your dentist will give you specific guidance on healing time.
Can laser dentistry treat gum disease at any stage? 
Laser dentistry works well for many stages of gum disease. Your dentist will assess your specific situation to confirm it's the right approach. More advanced cases may require a combination of gum disease treatments to fully address the infection. Your dentist examines your gums closely before recommending a plan.
Is laser dentistry only used for gum disease?

Laser dentistry isn't only used for gum disease. Your dentist can also use it for cosmetic procedures, like reshaping an uneven gumline or correcting a gummy smile. The same precision that helps treat infection also helps create a more balanced, proportional appearance.

Will my insurance cover laser dentistry? 

Whether your insurance covers laser dentistry depends on your specific plan and the reason for your treatment. Procedures related to gum disease are more likely to be covered than cosmetic treatments. Our dental office can help you check your benefits before your appointment. This way, you know what to expect before you commit to treatment.

I have been coming to Dr. Lee's office since moving to Houston over 20 years ago, before Dr. Lee was there. He has since taken over the practice and I have seen many improvements! The care is excellent - he is professional, efficient and friendly. More importantly, his staff is just phenomenal...
